Install

npm install @anyline/anyline-js

Usage

1. Copy the content of anylinejs to your webserver. In some cases you need to configure your webserver to serve data and wasm.gz files.

Web SDK has to be served from a web server that supports HTTPS.

1. Import Web SDK

import { init } from '@anyline/anyline-js';

Alternatively you can also directly import anyline.js using a script tag:

<script src="anyline.js"></script>

This will expose anylinejs to the window scope:

const { init } = window.anylinejs;

1. Initialize Web SDK

const anyline = init({
  preset: 'meter', // id, ocr, ehic, ...
  license: 'enter_your_license_key_here',
  // html container where anylineJS should be mounted to
  element: document.getElementById('root'),
  // location of the data files from step 1 (can also be an https link)
  anylinePath: '../anylinejs',
});

1. Start scanning

anyline.startScanning().catch(console.error);

1. Handle the scan result

anyline.onResult((data) => {
  console.log(data)
});

Preload assets

In order to use preloading update your configuration as shown below and call the preload method. Example

const anyline = init({
  ...
  preload: true,
  ...
});

anyline.preload();

Try it locally

Go to https://anyline.com/request/contact for a test-license When you've received a license for your domain, edit your host file to route your domain to localhost. Then:

npm run demo

Visit http://yourdomain.com:8080/demo

or

npm run demo:network

In this case the HTTPS server uses a self-generated certificate so you might need to bypass the security measures of your browser. With a proper test-license issued for your internal ip-address you can test it on other devices on the network (i.E. for smartphone testing).

Typescript support

You can access the types by importing the Types object

import { Types } from '@anyline/anyline-js';
